Can't find the code, but I've had one situation where a db file was meant to have a fixed size, but could, under some circumstances, grow unexpectedly leading to a performance hit. I wanted to promise to rebuild the db if the size wasn't exactly as desired. I don't think this is a ``common'' requirement, but it does seem odd to not be there, considering that promises can be made on other file attributes.
